What is primary care?

Primary care is your starting point for all routine health and wellness needs. Finding a great primary care provider ensures you stay on track regarding screenings and overall health information. 

While you might occasionally need to work with a specialist as you move through the phases of life, your primary care provider continues to coordinate and monitor your health services. Having a practitioner you know and trust is a great way to stay on top of your health and have a resource to turn to when a need arises. 

What services are available within primary care?

Preventive health is a central focus within primary care. Annual physicals deliver all the screenings and health tracking you need to stay healthy and happy. All the information gathered during these annual visits goes into your medical record, becoming a great resource that can track changes over time. 

When an unexpected illness or injury occurs, your primary care provider is here to help you during sick visits. Both children and adults benefit from seeing a practitioner who knows their personal health history rather than being seen by a stranger at an urgent care clinic. 

South Knox Family Care also offers urgent care services. These visits are a great fit for health needs that require immediate attention but don’t rise to the level of a true medical emergency. 

For those with one or more serious health issues, chronic disease management helps reduce symptoms and support enhanced health. Working closely with a primary care practitioner can even help you move beyond chronic disease or find a way to live a healthy and active life, even with a chronic condition like asthma or diabetes. 

What are the benefits of working with a primary care practitioner?

It’s difficult to overstate the benefits of finding a provider you can trust, and one who takes the time to truly get to know you and your unique set of strengths and challenges. The South Knox Family Care providers view their role as your partner in your personal health and wellness journey. 

Advancements in medical technology happen at a lightning pace. Your primary care provider is a resource when you have questions about a new health trend or want guidance on the latest infectious disease scare or public health crisis.
